For patients with serious breathing problems, MedlinePlus provides information about respiratory failure. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases also explains acute kidney injury, which can occur during severe illness or hospitalization.
Internal Medicine and Critical Care Approach
Internal medicine involves diagnosing and managing medical conditions affecting adults. Critical care becomes necessary when an illness threatens vital functions such as breathing, circulation, kidney function, or consciousness.
Dr. Halat’s background in both fields supports management of patients whose medical problems overlap. Someone hospitalized with pneumonia, for example, may also have diabetes, kidney impairment, heart disease, or respiratory failure that must be considered together.
Critical-care treatment may involve close monitoring, oxygen or respiratory support, intravenous medicines, fluid management, laboratory testing, and coordination with specialists from other medical fields.
Hospital medicine also involves helping patients transition safely between intensive care, inpatient wards, and outpatient follow-up when their condition improves.

Dr. Anthony John Halat graduated from McGovern Medical School at UTHealth in Houston in 2002.

He is certified in Internal Medicine by the American Board of Internal Medicine. Current licensing records list active medical licenses in Nebraska and Iowa, with professional records also showing Texas licensure.

Hospital Information

Because much of his work is hospital and critical-care based, routine outpatient appointment availability may differ from that of a primary-care physician.
